In the chaos of emergency medicine, one of the greatest challenges to doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals is not just the emergency in front of them, it is the relentless noise within and around them.
Meditation for Medics – Stopping the Noise: A Simple Guide to Unshakeable Mindfulness by a Busy ER Doctor has been written for healthcare professionals to support them to:
- Calm the mind in the middle of chaos;
- Reduce stress, emotional fatigue, and burnout; and
- Build resilience and focus under relentless pressure.
With nearly 40 years on the frontline of Australian emergency medicine, author Dr Andrew Dean shares his simple, practical approach to mastering the mental noise that drives stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion across the healthcare profession.
Frontline workers need tools they can use today to survive and thrive, he says. “Mindfulness alone is not the answer to all of medicine’s systemic challenges, but it can be a crucial part of our own answer.
“When we cultivate unshakeable mindfulness, stress no longer dominates our days, but fades into the background, becoming the smallest part of how we experience life.”
Through his daily meditation techniques, Dr Dean (pictured left) shows how healthcare providers can train their minds to slow the heart, steady the breath, and sharpen focus. The result – reduced stress, greater resilience, and the ability to meet the chaos of emergency medicine with calm clarity.
Dr Dean is Acting Head of Melbourne Clinical School, School of Medicine Sydney, University of Notre Dame Australia, and also Director of Clinical Training at St. John of God Hospital in Ballarat Victoria. He distils a lifetime of insight on how to work under pressure into one simple guide.
“Unshakeable Mindfulness is the ability to stay calm, clear, and in control when chaos hits, whether in a trauma bay or in everyday life. It’s a skill. A discipline. A daily practice that quiets the mental and emotional noise so we can think clearly, lead with strength, and nurture those around us.”
Written for doctors, nurses, paramedics, medical students, and other healthcare professionals, the book is:
- Grounded in science: based on evidence of how meditation reshapes stress responses.
- Shaped by experience: drawn from nearly four decades in emergency medicine.
- Accessible in practice: practical tools that can be integrated into even the busiest working environment.
